A training-sequence-based entropy-constrained predictive trellis coded
quantization (ECPTCQ) scheme is presented for encoding autoregressive
sources, For encoding a first-order Gauss-Markov source, the mean squ
ared error (MSE) performance of an eight-state ECPTCQ system exceeds t
hat of entropy-constrained differential pulse code modulation (ECDPCM)
by up to 1.0 dB. In addition, a hyperspectral image compression syste
m is developed, which utilizes ECPTCQ, A hyperspectral image sequence
compressed at 0.125 b/pixel/band retains an average peak signal-to-noi
se ratio (PSNR) of greater than 43 dB over the spectral bands.
